arranator2 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hello Tip.it , I am new to making guides but i believe this is a guide that is probably really needed, ok lets get to it: on the 29-Mar-2007 Rule 2 was updated , it says that luring is now considered scamming , and i myself must say , about time i have had 1 mil scammed off of me here, someone tried it again last night , (tried to scam 9k cooked sharks off of me). Ok heres my opinion on luring: Luring is when someone PM's you saying he/she will sell you somethign for really cheap , lets say a whip for 1 million, instead of 1.7mil. Or when they say they will buy somethign from you. Now the main part of the lure is that they are standing in level 1 wilderness. Common reasons for them being in wildy: (its there exscuse for being at lvl 1 wildy) 1) I am doing the cannoe puzzle and i cant leave because it resets 2) I am fletching here and dont wan't to leave the tree (if you have anymore please suggest them) What happens in the Lure: 1) you accept his.her offer and head to the spot to meet them 2) you find them standing in level 1 wildy (will add pics to show the common places) 3) you trade them , and when you put up the items a mage will run down and TB and Bind you , you are killed before you have a chance to run or tele More things the lurers say/do contributed by blue_star67: You might also want to put in teh sleeping cap bug lure. There is a bug where if you are following someone with a sleeping cap, and they use teh "yawn" emote, you get "blown" backwards, and possibly into teh wilderness... contributed by xzavier93: area: behind teh sawmill place in varrok excuse: im searching 4 that darn cat and it keeps running out into teh wildy. *Note i think if you dont trade them they wont attack you.... this is so they can make sure you have the stuff* Common Lurer spots: (bridge across from edgeville) Where Lurer's Mage stands: (post pics of others if you know any other spots ) THINGS TO NOTE the mage and maybe the lurer arent always your level, and that doesnt yet make sense to me , as if your in level 1 wildy you should only be able to be attacked by 1 level above or below. * all ive noticed is that these mages have either not attack or defence ranked....* (if anyone has any info on this please tell us) Suggestions form: What is needs to be added: anything of this wrong? any information you can add to this guid? pics etc. P.S my pics were taken on a F2P acc, cause my P2P acc was nowhere near those spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arranator2 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 yeah i was just thinking of this off of the top of my head, with the lures that had happened to me, i fixed the images btw... emm im not sure what else i am missing please suggest ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_star67 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Okay... from my point of view this guide is pretty redundant... My advice, the furthest north that you should trade is edgeville bank. Any futher north and it's a lure. A real trader will probably trade in a bank or just outside. Trying to get a new sig... Idea's anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arranator2 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 that is true blue , but alot of people do fall for these lures... why else would jagex have to change there rules if no-one was fallign for them? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_star67 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Thanks arran for taking my criticisim. You might also want to put in the sleeping cap bug lure. There is a bug where if you are following someone with a sleeping cap, and they use the "yawn" emote, you get "blown" backwards, and possibly into the wilderness... That one caught me off guard and luckily I just had my dds equipped I 1-itemed the lurers butt XD Trying to get a new sig... Idea's anyone?

rise Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 The guide is alright. I think you should change it to how not to get lured or scammed and mabey add stuff about not to get killed by a lurer at dks. I dont have a sig anymore =[But I did manage to get every skill in the highscores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dragon_Reborn Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Decent Guide. Not much in it, but good info. Someone tried to lure me last week. He told me that he was doing a quest at the top of Dwarf Mountain (North of Falador), and that he was lagging. I recognized it, and killed him though. :lol: ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

Bloodredsword Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 You make this guide 1 day after Luring is illegal? I don't understand you... Just because its now illegal doesn't mean it won't happen #-o :roll: Even if you get lured and report the idiots who lured you...that doesn't get you your gold this guide is to prevent that from happening Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword.

Demonic_Bunny Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 The low attack and defence is to keep combat levels down. This is typically because players within the 50 - 80 range are the most likely to fall for a lure. The mages also stand further down, in a spot where they are off the minimap, but, thanks to camera swiveling, can see if the lured player is in the wilderness. :anxious: *Edit: What the *?

stivslasher Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Someone gave me a high offer on some p pots I was selling and was telling me "I merchant prayer potions, both buy and sell." When I got to Edge bank noticed he wasn't there. PM'd me to say he was above the general store. Decided to look (I already decided I wasn't going to trade) and he was actually above the house used for Dragon Slayer quest. He was alching there. I think a huge key is mentioned above. Making sure the would-be trader is a lower combat level so that the would-be lured thinks the person is no threat at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy6691 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 nice guide, hope the adjustment to rule 2 stops atleast some lurers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marnuke Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 most lurers usually find their targets on some sort of forums, which is where the seller or buyer usually has there runescape name at. They search highscores and put in your combat skills inside a comb calculator and figure out your comb lvl. From there they will found out how deep they will have to be (or the pker they get to attack you has to be) to see if your a possible target. I have also heard somewhere little deeper in the wildy is also a popular spot, like somwhere around green dragons or something. not sure if that one is still used or not, but it use to be. personally the only one that has been tried on me was the first pic, and he said he was lagging to bad to come to me at the bridge..my common sense said if he was lagging he couldn't type...that was before it was a popular method of scamming and didn't know what he was doing, so i just put him on ignore and walked off Barrows drops: ahrims staff (2), karils coif, karils xbow, torags plate body, veracs helm.

pbjdude91 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 One that I encountered the other day is when they lure you on to the german server for like a drop party. They say, "Party is being moved to white wolf mountain! I will tele you all there!". He puts up a tele for the people around him and instead of white wolf mountain, it's the ice plateau, he's using lunar magics of course. I suggest you never trade on the german servers unless you speak it, or understand exactly where you're going. White wolf mountain = Weisser Wolfberg (the ss = the large B looking letter, dont have it on my keyboard) and Ice plateau is Eishochebene. Look for either EIS for ice plateau, and Weisser for white. It should be pretty easy to remember. I'm still happy I take german in school, otherwise i wouldn't have recognized it and lost my full guthans :ohnoes: This is my original signature. You can't touch this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arranator2 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 pbjdude lucky you, maybe people who dont understand german shouldnt go on the server ? lol :? yeah there are still alot of people who will try to lure you , because if you think about it the macroing rule came out , but that still didnt/doesnt stop them from autoing , i personally see a few everyday >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMjE Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I made a guide like this but the main lure now is dropping about 10k on the floor in the wilde, the person runs in to get it and somebody owns you null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
